TOKIN' GESTURE

I agree with your 10 reasons why we need to decriminalize drugs. Here 
in the U.S., Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton need not travel to Tibet 
to find a minority subculture stripped of human rights. If we are all 
about spreading liberty abroad, then why mix the message at home?

Each bust piles on new costs. The policy on the number-one cash crop 
is eradication. But money to frustrate enforcement grows on trees.

Freedom of speech presupposes freedom of thought. How and when did 
government usurp this power to coerce conformity?
